MXD is like a really cool preacher  who goes to orgies and gets tested regularly.*

*BECAUSE IT’S THE RIGHT THING TO DO

MXD Magazine is a publication that celebrates LGBTQ People of Color (POCs), non-conformists, and our allies.

We aim to fight racism masked as sexual preference, among other façades.

We believe in equalizing racial disparities in American media and our community by ensuring publications that represent the underrepresented stay in circulation, cultivating in our readers that POCs are as desirable and powerful as the white masculine male.

We provide a safe, loving, and respectful environment for discussion among POCs and our white allies where we can all find common ground in our fight to end racism and achieve racial equality in the LGBTQ community.

We advocate for unity among all members of the LGBTQ community in agreement that the time for tolerance has elapsed, and that the time for love, goodwill and understanding is now.

We know that change is not a one-way street–we like to talk and always eager to listen.

We challenge ourselves and our readers to break our preconceived notions about race and the issues around it.

We are provocative and unapologetic, but never malicious.

We fight for what we believe is right, but never closing our ears to voices that help us understand the other sides of issues we discuss.

We are sex positive in which our cardinal rule is love, acceptance, understanding, good intentions, and consent.
